Chapter 229: Collaboration with the enemy
"Is the news accurate?" asked Li Jingshi with a heavy face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Liu Yi nodded, "Back to the general's words, after we received the news, we immediately went to verify, yesterday at night, Prince Ping's third son Ji Guanyi traveled temporarily, and the external statement is that his maternal grandmother is seriously ill, and Ji Guanyi's surrogate mother went to visit." ā
Prince Ping? Li Jingshi is no stranger to this person, it was he who went to Chuling to recruit troops, and it was he who enlarged Xiao Jiang's belly but did not admit it, so that Mrs. Li would take this as an excuse to demote his wife to a concubine for him without authorization, and forced his wife to live aggrieved, and finally died in the hands of Xiao Jiang, and his youngest son was also killed by Xiao Jiang.
It's all because Prince Ping dares to do it.
Little Jiang and Mrs. Li deserve to die, and Prince Ping deserves to die even more.
Now I heard that he actually had contacts with Xiyue, which was a collaborator. How dare he?
Li Jingshi gritted his teeth and asked for details.
Liu Yi shook his head with a bitter face, "That's all, although Prince Ping's Mansion is easy to get into, Prince Ping's territory is as solid as an iron bucket." ā
If it weren't for Ji Yaoshen's presence, they wouldn't have been able to find out about this matter at all.
Originally, he didn't send someone to sneak in, because he didn't want to have anything to do with the people in the imperial court, but later the sect leader let people sneak in for the convenience of connecting with Ji Yaoshen, but Prince Ping's study was important, and they couldn't get involved.
"General, can this be regarded as a collaboration with the enemy? Although we support the war between Zhao and Xiyue, strictly speaking, we are defending the territory of Zhao State, and it has nothing to do with our Southern Chu!"
Strictly speaking, as Liu Yi said, Southern Chu and Xiyue did not have any old enmity, Xiyue was not very satisfied with the land of their own dynasty, and wanted to expand to Middle Earth, but Zhao regarded himself as the co-master, how could he tolerate this behavior of Xiyue? Therefore, as the co-master, he summoned the Southern Chu, Northern Jin and Eastern Qi countries to help each other, and the Northern Jin Dynasty was good at fighting, but the land was vast and sparsely populated, and he was a belligerent, and his own family was still in constant disputes, where could the idlers go to help people fight?
But they still sent a force to support it, but how much of a difference it actually played?
The strength of Southern Chu is the weakest among several countries, and the emperor wants to use this to train his own strong soldiers and strong generals, but it can't be too obvious, the leaders who are sent to lead the troops are probably the children of the nobles in Beijing, and they are purely going to study, such as the Li Jing period, the militia recruited from the people, that is purely the cannon fodder for these officials who have studied gilded and gilded.
As for the Eastern Qi Dynasty, they had sent a force from the Eastern Qi Dynasty to the border between Zhao and Western Vietnam, and they did not harass the people along the way, causing resentment among the people, and finally the Emperor Zhao had to euphemistically ask the Eastern Qi army not to come to support it anymore.
Other small countries have said that Li Jingshi has not seen half of them in the past few years, and I don't know if they didn't send anyone at all, or they were sent to other places to support.
But what if Prince Ping took advantage of the opportunity of conscription to support Zhao and quietly built up his own army?
After all these years of experience, coupled with the several meetings he participated in after entering Beijing, his eyes gradually opened, and when he thought about things, he was no longer limited to what was in front of him, but learned to stand on a high place and watch the whole situation.
If Liu Yi had told him about it before, he would definitely not believe it, but now, he was highly skeptical.
On the day that Mrs. Li arrived in Beijing, the emperor summoned him to the palace because he received news that someone in the court was raising private soldiers, which was not small in scale and could not be underestimated.
That day was the first time he saw the commander of Xuanyiwei, the young commander of Xuanyiwei was probably about the same age as Li Shaoxi's brothers, but they had already taken charge of Xuanyiwei and led Xuanyiwei to do things for the emperor!
The emperor's children are more than a dozen people, many of whom have performed well, but the emperor has not set up a prince for a long time, although Li Jingshi has only entered Beijing for a short time, but how do you evaluate these princes, he has already heard about it, and then look at the emperor's attitude, I am afraid that these older princes do not have high hopes.
But think about it, the emperor is in the prime of life, and the courtiers are anxious for him to set up a crown prince, making it clear that he wants to help the prince who supports him to take the throne, and whoever has been in power for a long time will not tolerate someone coveting his things, especially the imperial power.
I can give it to you, but what I didn't give you, you can't come and grab it.
He still needs to be wary of his own princes, but what about his brothers?
When Li Jingshi was in the Tianwei Pass, he had heard of Xuanyiwei, this emperor's army had only been established for less than five years, the commander was very young, but the martial arts were very strong, and several deputy generals stationed in the Tianwei Pass at that time had said in a mocking and envious tone, "If our family is also a close confidant of the emperor, we can naturally be like Qi Zhiping, who is in a high position at a young age and is favored by the emperor." ā
"Qi Zhiping's wife is the most favored concubine of the Marquis of Zhenguo, I heard that the study of the Marquis of Zhenguo is the only one who does not need to be communicated, she can come and go freely, even Mrs. Zhenguohou does not have this treatment!"
Thinking of this, Li Jingshi couldn't help but think of whether he should agree to what the emperor told him? If he did, even if these people under his command retired from the army, they would not have to worry about having nowhere to go.
But his daughter helped these people under him find a way out, and the treatment may not be as good as doing things for the emperor, but it is better than freedom, and there is no need to involve those private interests in the court.
But if you don't agree, will you just watch Prince Ping sit big and endanger the imperial power?
Li Jingshi found himself in a difficult situation.
When Li Jingshi was agonizing about whether to expose Prince Ping, Li Qianqian was annoyed by Grandma Zhang!
This woman doesn't know what's going on, she always asks her to come forward to meddle in the marriage of Zhang Sangzhou and Xu Yujiao, is to deceive her into being young and ignorant, thinking of fooling her to come out and stir up the Huang family, so that the marriage will fall through, what Grandma Zhang is worried about will not happen, and no one will blame her?
Hmph! Mother Ye and Lan Tang were busy taking notes, so she had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and it was enough to block her way.
Grandma Zhang is also angry, why can't this damn girl get oil and salt!
The people waiting for the Zhang family also felt a headache, the young master of Sangzhou said that it was Mrs.'s eyes, he had been dragging and refused to agree to marry, Mrs. was sad and white-headed, and he didn't let him be honest, and now he was finally willing to marry a wife, and the grandmother couldn't think of destroying it, they couldn't think about it, if she really let her do it, Mrs. would not be able to repair her daughter-in-law, so she could only vent her anger on them.
After Li Qianqian waited for Grandma Zhang to say a paragraph, she raised her eyebrows and looked at her and asked, "You said everything?"
"Sect Master, did you understand what I said? This Xu family must be uneasy and kind, you ......"
Seeing that she was going to dig out the old things again, Li Qianqian smiled at her and said, "I'm really sorry! I still have something to do, so I'll leave first!" After speaking, without waiting for Grandma Zhang to speak again, he and Chunjiang turned around and flew onto the roof, and after seeing that they were all looking at themselves, they waved their hands at them, "Let's go!"
Grandma Zhang watched them go away with her mouth open, and the people waiting all lowered their heads and didn't dare to say more, "How dare she......? Do that to me?"
Li Qian, who was not far away, pursed the corners of his lips slightly, and Chunjiang said indignantly, "This grandmother Zhang is too self-righteous, who is she herself! ā
When I saw her in the future, I avoided her from afar, saving me a waste of time. Li Qianqian could have done this a long time ago, but it was not good not to give face, who knew that Grandma Zhang had intensified.
"Do you think you want to mention it to the fourth elder and let him take care of Grandma Zhang?"
Li Qianqian glanced at Chunjiang and said in his heart, Don't do it! Isn't it enough for his two concubines to do something? If she comes to Grandma Zhang's pen again, she is afraid that the four elders will not dare to face herself in the future.
"By the way, what's going on with the Third Elder?"
"I heard that her cousin had remarried, but her aunt was very dissatisfied, so she refused to go home in the garden of Yongxiang, and her cousin brought his wife and child to pick her up, and she made a fuss so that the whole Songcheng knew that she was not satisfied with this daughter-in-law. ā
The new daughter-in-law just entered the door, and she was by her mother-in-law like this, and I am afraid that the future will be difficult!
Li Qianqian thought for a moment and asked, "Can it affect the three elders?"
"That's certain, that uncle and wife want the three elders to comment on the reasoning, and in front of the visiting wife and grandmother, she counted down the daughter-in-law, and didn't forget to say how good her niece is in front of those people, I heard that there were several wives who were daughters-in-law of the three elders in the picture, so they retreated!"
Li Qianqian shook his head, "Fortunately, there is no such thing in the Second Elder's family." ā
Chunjiang reminded her evilly, "Have you forgotten what Grandma He and Miss He did?"
"It's also a rare thing for their aunts and sisters-in-law to get along. It's just that He Yuyan is too self-righteous, "The eldest prince of Feng has already left the capital, she should also die, right?"
"She didn't like the few people that the second elder gave her. They simply sat on the roof and looked at Grandma Zhang's master and servant from a distance.
Although Li Qianqian and the others left, Grandma Zhang's master and servant still stayed where they were, what are they doing?
After a long time, I saw a few women led in by the inn guys, they walked to Grandma Zhang and stopped, the two sides seemed to say something, the inn guys took the reward and left, Grandma Zhang pointed to the guest house where Li Qianqian lived, I don't know what to say to them, I heard the women smile and nod frequently, and then followed Grandma Zhang.
"Chunjiang, what do you think she wants to do?" Li Qianqian watched them walk away, a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
Chunjiang's hearing was not as good as her, and she knew that the sect leader must have heard something, and when she asked, she shook her head and said honestly, "The slave doesn't know." ā
"Grandma Zhang! she wants to help me be a matchmaker!" coaxed her to stir up the marriage of Huang Zhang Sangzhou, but it was one of the goals, the main purpose was to trap her so that those women could come to see her, although she miscalculated this time and let herself go, but she pointed out Li Qianqian's residence to them, and asked them to turn around and leave people to look at each other.
She's going to have to come back anyway!
But now that you know her purpose, can you still let her succeed?" "Let's go, go to my eldest brother, and let's change places when we go back." ā
Chunjiang nodded vigorously, but she didn't understand!, "How long has this grandmother been here, how come she knows these people and wants to help you be a matchmaker?"
Li Qian smiled lightly, "It's not simple, think about it, although she wants to mess up the marriage of Huang Zhangsangzhou, but no one in this city knows, she is the future concubine of the eldest lady of Shaoyun Villa? )
